Drive
Ryan Gosling stars as one of the most boring and one-dimensional characters in all of Hollywood history in a movie that thousands of people absolutely love (we love it too, just calling it like it is). Critics think that this movie was beautiful and interesting, but the acting was pretty dismal. That and Ryan Gosling's character was objectively boring. This movie has a lot of street cred, but it's totally overrated.
Cast Away
Andrew O'Hagan of The Telegraph ripped Cast Away apart, calling it devoid of substance and claiming that "the plot is lost at sea." He credits Tom Hanks for being able to carry the movie mostly on his own (sans his volleyball friend), but he states that the "man lost in nature trope is not a new one, and there is nothing surprising in Cast Away."
